In one survey of undergraduates by Colosimo and Kasuto (2012), one third reported they would not watch screencast tutorials for a variety of reasons, among them "no need," "no time," and "no interest." This finding points to some worrying issues regarding online tutorials (and information literacy instruction in general). I compared two tutorials on a biology database: one a screencast featuring audio narration and callouts of important concepts, the other a series of web pages with static screenshots that students could click through. As information literacy instruction is also a form of storytelling, animated GIFs might be a good format for library tutorials. The students were able to follow the PsycINFO tutorial series to the end and successfully locate articles, but they needed to watch the videos over and over.	./cache/work_7ni66jbzqvdhzliiyboo63jyga.htm	./txt/work_7ni66jbzqvdhzliiyboo63jyga.txt
